EDIT bad choice on the hard drives... get a larger one, and it will be cheaper. i know youre probably looking at RAID but if you are dont do it with 2x80gb...

looks good, but hard drive situation needs work, i would only get one optical drive, and i have never heard of that board

other than that looks good

and ultimately its up to you anyway, so dont take my word as fact

good advice from above me too, i agree with all of that (but case is kind of an opinion thing)

spend the money to get some 2-2-2-X PC3200 memory, unless you want to overclock... no one wants to see a 7800gtx and kingston ram...

EDIT kingmax, haha, not sure which one is worse...

I have never heard of Jetway myself either? Do you plan on doing Overclocking at all? If not you could probably save yourself some money and get some PC3200. And if you are overclocking I would recommend the DFI motherboards.

and what company makes the TG480-U22 ?[right][snapback]469007[/snapback][/right]Tagan is the company that makes it who is under the mother company of TOPOWER who also makes OCZ and E-Power PSU's among other companies.

getting a fancy proc/card is not going to be near as cool if you have junk ram and a mobo that barely works.

the Jetway is not a bad board at all, Harley and Jason were talking about how great it was and how good of an overclocking board it was, they said it was promiseing how well the board did compared to others.

you should have just spent that money just on the machine. you would have had a better system. not that it already isnt. nice specs. /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /> but with that kind of money i would have expected an X2 4200 atleast.

he has to buy all the extra stuff,EDIT wait erasmus you already have a system just carry over the monitor/keyboard/etc unless they are junk or something

and the RAM... you only need PC3200/DDR400 if you arent going to overclock, in fact, it will be BETTER if you arent going to OC

Get the OCZ modstream power supply its fully modular and very sexy. As far as building a system right now I would wait a month for R520 because if it kicks the 7800GTX all over the place you are gonna be very sad.

because you are supposed to match the FSB by the DDR rating divided by 2, DDR400/2 = 200 matches the default clock. DDR means double data rate thats you you divide.

unless you cant get as good timings with PC3200, but you can.
